Experimenting With Flower Lighting

[Scott Rosenberg]

hey peter, i came across the same information you did a little after making my post here. i apreciate all the digging you've been doing.

i also found Schneider's Page on Cooling Filters to be very helpful. i understand what i need to do now:

since i'm starting at ~3,000K,
with daylight film, i need to raise the temp to ~5,500K: 82A (3000-3200) + 80A (3200-5500)
with tungsten film i need to raise the temp to ~3,200K: 82A (3000-3200)

looks like i have two methods to test... this is going to be a lot of fun.

thanks so much for all the help,
Scott

Hey Scotty,

One more thing, if your exposure will be more than 1 second, do not forget about film reciprocity. Between 1 - 10 seconds, it depends on film, but generally, increase your time by 1/3 - 1/2 stop.
